Famous quotes containing the words pagan and/or uprising:
“I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.”
—Carter Heyward (b. 1946)
“Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.”
—Yasir Arafat (b. 1929)
